MUCH INTEREST SHOWN —————— Four scor2 and more prominent and rep- resentative men of Washington gathered in Willard Hail last night to attend the first meeting of the season of the Washington beard of trade. The call for the meeting ar nounced that the subject of grade cross- irgs within the city limits would be the main matter for consideration, and it was, but something of a sensation was created Ly the report of the special committee ap- pointed at the meeting of January 22 last to report its judgment on what should be a fair and suitable price for gas of suitable | Quality in the District, and what action should be taken by the board to the end that gas should hereafter be furnished at such price; and also to report whether gas can be furnished more advantageously by the District of Columbia or by private cor- poration. The report was a voluminous ore, occupying fifteen pages of typewritten manuscript, but every word of it was lis- tered to with close attention, and at its close Mr J. H. Ralston, chairman of the ccmmittee, who read it, was greeted with much applause. Other important repor: were received from the committees on the title to the Potomac flats, on civil service in the District and on the existing con- ditions in Alexandria county, Va. It was 8 o'clock when President B. H. Warner called the meeting to order, with Secretary John B. Wight and Assistant Secretary Gurley in their places. Mr. Warner wel- comed the members in a few pleasant sen- tences and announced the business of the evening. After the minutes of the last meeting, held May 14, 1895, were read and approved, Secretary Wight read a proposed amendment to the constttution, providing for the creation of a committee on schools, to consist of five members, which, under the rules, went over for action until the next mesting. He then proceeded with the report of the special committee on the condition of af- fairs in Alexandria county, Va., consisting of F. L, Moore, chairman; Beriah Wilkins, J. B. Wilson, M. G. Emery and A. P. F: don, and the reading was listened to w great attention. Gov. O’Ferrall's Responsibility. The committee stated that immediately upon its appointment it put itself in com- munication with the police authorities of Washington and Virginia, and found the evil existing was in no way overstated in the press. The governor of Virginia was waited on by a committee composed of President B. H.. Warner, Judge I. G. Kim- ball, Dr. A. P. Fardon and Secretary John B. Wight, “to whom,” continued the re- port, “he gave the assurance that he would on our making a case that could be safely brought into the courts immediately pro- ceed against the offending partles. The report then stated what the commit- tee had accomplished in the way of obtain- ing evidence, and recited that, with the aid Attorneys Thompson and Fraley, the case was prepared and submitted to the governor of Virginla. “For months,” continued the report, “gambling was suppressed by the new sheriff, but it is reported to your committee that the gambling houses are opening again. It is hoped the governor will take imm steps to try the cafes made hy our ves and put In legal shape by detec our _attorne After statingethe total expense to have n $42.40, the report concluded as fol- OmThe committee fect that they did their work thoroughly, They furnished to the governor such information as he asked for and in such a shape as to have been per- atisfactory to himseif and to the general of Virginia, as they them- selves So expressed it. The responsibility of ro further action having heen taken in this matter must not rest with the com- mittee, whose work has been done, but those who agreed to do what more necessary after receiving such infor- mation as the committee furnished. After the report was read Warner said ne had understood yesterday that in- dictments had been found against soine of the individuals against whom the committee had gotten evidence and paid a high compli- ment to Chairman Moore for his labors in connection with the committee work.

Mr. Warner announced that the report of the committee charged with investi- gating the subject of | tel lephone rates was next in order. The mittee reported that soon after its creation a free and frank conference was held with Mr. Sam- uel M. Bryan, president of the Chesa- Peake and Potomac Telephone Company, and a full investigation of the rates charged @n other large cities made. The committee thereupon concluded without going into detai) that in its opinion it is not possible for the Chesapeake and Po- tomac Telephone Company to furnish at present a satisfactory service in this city at less rates than those it is now charging, “owing to the fact that in reorganization of the company som? years ago the pres- ent company was compelled to pay a very large sum of money, which now makes it necessary for them to have a canitaliza- tion of between two ani three million dol- lars,” said the report. “and also owing to the fact that in the work of construction and ecuinment large sums have been ex- pended, which would not probably now have to be incurred.” If the company. was reorganized, or if a new company should be started, and its business conducted on a fair capitalization, it could, in the opinion of your committee, in view of the great improvements in the telephone system and the expiration of patents, give to our business men and citi- zens a satisfactory service at rates :auch below those which we are now paying.” The committee in conclusion stated that it was firm in its opinion that it would not be desirable to have more than one tele- phone company in operation. “We do not want our streets continually torn up for the laying of cables,” it said in conclusion, “nor do we want wires run overhead, nor do we want two or three or more telephones, with as many different lists of subscribers; but one company, with a satisfactory service and rates which will be _remunerative to the company The report, which was read hy Secretary Wight. and adopted, was signed by R. Goldschmid, chairman; Chas. A. Langley, J. D, Kendail and E. 8. Parker. The City’s Mlumination and Its Cost. Mr. J. H. Raiston’s report on the subject of Public illumination was then read by Mr. Ralston himself, and proved to be an in- teresting document. He referred to the three companies engaged in the business of jurnishing light in the District, namely, the Washington Gas Light Company, the Georgetown Gas Light Company and the United States Electric Lighting Company, and then gave a review of the history of the Washington Gas Light Company, dwelling upon the fact that the original capitalization of $50,000 in 18i8 had been Increased to $2,000,000. The re- port asserted that the dividend: the past year represented a div cf Si per it upon the actual cash investment, which did not, in Mr. Ral- ston’s opinion, exceed $500,000, The re- port then discussed the question of the actual cost of the production of gas. “The factors,” the report said, with the season and with the market price of ma- terial. According to the best modern au- thorities, the cost of production is placed ct from 25 to 40 ccnts.a thousand, ap- proved methods being used. The same au- thorities estimate that to these figures must be added about 40 per cent, or 10 to 16 cents, as the cost of deliy at the burner. To this amount must, when gas is furnished by a private company, be added taxes, interest and profits, and, by whoever furn'shed, repairs. The latter item, as shown ky the reports of the Wa ington Gas Light Company, amounts to but 1 per cent of the claimed value of its plant, or 4 cents per thousand cubic of gas manufactured. “The raw materials enterir of the production of gas are for the part coal -ind oil,” the report cont “In ISS9 these cost the gampany und: sideration $254,336.81, and in 1803 ‘Taking into con: eration the 1889 69 at avd in feet into the cost most terial was concerned 36 cents per thousand would cover it in 1:89, while in 1893 the ex- pense was only 27 cents per thousand. In ISS wages and salaries, street limps, dis- tribution, office and general expenses rey resented 30 cents per thousand cubic f of gas preduced, and in 18} the same item represented cents per thousand. The report then discussed at some length the cost of production of gas, and the sum of all the factors properly » sented in the cost of production equaled 1 Iss) 78 cents per thousand, and in 18: cents. This did not’ include div! dends, interest on indebtedness and exten- sion of plant. Mr. Rals id that in arriving at the foregoing results he had assumed the c rectness of the figures furnished by the gas company and the leitimacy of all the items. of the expense account. He then compared the cost of gas manu- facture in this jurisdiction with similar cost in Philadelphia, where, he said. th distributing plant is ‘owned by the munic: pality and perhaps two-thirds of the manufacturea by it, private producers sell- ing the city about one-third of the gas supplied to its citizens. His conclusion from the data presented was that $1 per thou- sand would in Washington be even an ex- orbitant price for gas. He said the Georgetown Gaslight Com- incorporated in 1854, with a capi- 000, No information of any kind affecting this corporation was received, al- though, in answer to requests for informa- tion trom the committee, the president of the ion referred them to a publication pplying no data about this company. He saw no reason to believe that the George- town company should be treated di from the Washington company. Electric Lighting. The report then went into a disci the subject of electric lighting, statistics obtained from various cities. The ion was that the Electric Lighting Company is more moderate In its charges than the majority of private companies, and yet charges double and treble the rates asked by many plants owned by mu- nicipalities. If no better solution of the final que submitted to the coramittee existed t recommend the installation by the §} mcnt of entirely new electric and lighting plants, Mr. Ralston said he woi not hesitate to recommend this course. He believed, however, that serious disad- vantages and needless expense would r sult from the tearing up of the street necessary if such a course were follow He further believed that existing plain’ should be condemned, and taken pos sion of by the District of Columbia,and the business of gating hereafter carried on by that municipality. Mr. Ralston thou; that in the condemnation no ac should be taken of the value of the fran- chise of the use of the streets. ‘The streets belong to the United States and were loan- ed to the companies subject to the right of government to regain them at any time. In conclusion, he recommended the pas. ge of a resolution providing that the legal committee of.the board of trade be in- Siructe] to prepare and press before Con- gress a bill providing for the condemnati of the plants of the Washington Gas Light Cempany, th= United States Electric Light- i ompany and the Georgetown Gas Com- y, and also providing for the raising of sufficient money to pay therefor, and also for the conduct, hereafter, of the lighting b-siness by the Dis.rict of Columbi: After concluding the reading, Mr. Raisten stated that he had found it difficult to get any of the other members of the committee together, the greatest number at any ons: me-ting being three. He had prep report and notified the other members that it was ready to be signed, but none had re- sponded, so they were only responsible for, as much of the report as they cared to be. The report was received without act'on, and the resolution recommended was lail on the table for further act.on under the rules. Civil vice the Distri The report of the special committee ap- pointed for the purpose of having civil service rules adopted in the District was read by Secretary Wight and signed by John Joy Edson, chairman. The report that at the time the board of direet- crs of the Washington board of trade ap- proved ihe extension of the civil service law to the offices of the District govern- ment it was not known whether the Presi- dent would direct such extension or not, and soon afterward he informed Mr. Ed- ount ae . * A rare chance for investors.

When President Warner called for the report of the committeg on railroads it an- nounced that it was not ready, but that the board desired to hear from members of the committee and other gentlemen famil with the subject of grade crossings in the District of Columbia, and he called on Mir.
